LE MARAIS-SAINT MARTIN LUXURY & DESIGN BY STUDIO

  : Location of the apartment
  : It is a first floor apartment in a very old building. The apartment is very small. Almost all pictures in the description are from the different unit and do not belong to it !!!! Apartment needs a lot of updates. Must be cleaned as well. Bed is not a bed just a mattress staying on small wooden boxes. Only one window is facing to a small back yard with the bike storage in it. No views at all !!! Picture of Eiphel Tower is just a picture on the wall!! This apartment is not a luxury apartment just a very small studio converted probably from the storage room or concierge room. Completely disappointed

  : It was a great location and easy access to central part of Paris. Few minutes away from stations and a lot of great restaurants. Room is fully equipped with a very comfortable bed. I had a great Paris experience!
  : Would be great if there was instructions for microwave. We had hard time using it and did not warm up the food. Also I would recommend bringing your own slippers. Floor was clean but I sweep and wiped the floor before I settled in. Lastly, be aware of quiet hours after 10pm.

  : The only pleasant comment that we enjoyed during the stay was the place's location.

  : The apartment was centrally located!! This made it easy for us to get around easily on foot to many of the major sites in Paris. The apartment was very close to a supermarket, the kitchen had the essentials and there were many different restaurants in the area. Which made meals easy. It was also quite inexpensive compared to other accommodations we looked at in the area. Both the bed and the pull out sofa were quite comfortable!
  : I was happy to find a place where my whole family could stay, but note if you plan to stay with 4 rather than 2 people that the pull out couch when open blocks the bathroom door. My kids claimed the main bed ;) So this meant everyone had to climb over me to get into the bathroom if they needed to go at night. I also had to make sure to re-close the door each time since the blue lights from the hot water tank were flashing and the bathroom had just a slight musty smell to it. Although there was a free standing clothes rack there is definitely no closet in this apartment. So that part of the amenities description is inaccurate. We just ended up having to keep our clothes in our suitcases on the floor. Check-in was 16h30, but they said early check-in might be available (we were asking for 14h) and they would let me know 24 hours in advance. Despite following their instructions through the App and through WhatsApp (which they suggested) nobody got back to me in advance about early check-in. When I tried to call I was told just to message. Then finally I got instructions to get in. I was happy to just let myself in, but it would have been helpful to get the instructions in advance of arriving instead of having to try several different ways to reach them before I got an answer. There is a microwave there and it turns on, but does not really warm anything. Everything else in the kitchen did work.

  : We did not end up staying. Merchant demanded more than double the listed destination charges, so we refused to pay. Merchant also refused to give any refund of the full price that was paid.

  : Very dirty, everywhere was hairs, and the property told us that housecleaner was BOLD! Horrible bed liner, dirty, with stains. Horrible smellall around the apartment. Note that its not an apprtment, its ground floor. All night the lights were up in the hall.

Disappointing

  : I found staff not very punctual. I did not receive any information about check in and check out. I had scheduled check in time in advance and I ended up waiting half and hour outside the building because I could not reach anyone from the staff and still had no info on how to check in. WiFi stopped working and there was no connection in the apprtement so you're basically cut off. Check out was mainly the same story, no info whatsoever. The appartement didn't look anything like the pictures. Over all the place was clean and tidy but my stay wasn't the best experience I ever had.

  : Nothing as we couldn't check in and no response from host. They even accused me of not arriving even though I had photographs for proof. Would not accept requests to cancel.
  : Not what was described. Rubbish, broken glass and other debris all over the roads Host not contactable and unhelpful

  : Property had firm NO SPEAK policy. Our calls were landing on machine. After paying euro 1900 to property very well in advance, we were struggling to get in. We had to pay euro 165 for night at other hotel and euro 70 for taxi. WHAT FOR TELEPHONE NUMBER IS PROVIDED IF CALLER HAS TO LEAVE VOICE MESSAGE, THAT TOO WHEN GUESTS ARE COMING FROM FOREIGN COUNTRY. Readers of this review should use their wisdom before booking this property.

  : Location is the only good thing about this property.
  : We are not sure why the word luxury is part of the accomodation name. there is nothing luxurious about it. Everything was a very poor or basic quality. You cant open the only window as there is a view into bycicle storage and someone can come and look at you any time. Bar stools were useless as they are below the bench full of everything, like microvawe, kettle, dish drainer, so it is imposible to eat at this space. they were also very dirty and rusty. Dish drainer was discussting, so dirty as well. pots and one frying pan very dated and unstick surface completelly damaged. No lids, no tea towel. cutlery is from several sets so mixture of everuthing. we could not enter the apartment as we were given the wrong code. We asked if we can come earlier, there was no answer. when I texted Felix, he said they chanded this code for security reassons and they emailed us about this change. this email was received on the day we were leaving. They said they gave us towels and sheete as a courtessy , can you believe???
